Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.

If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Nyngan War Memorial was originally erected in memory of those from the district who served in World War One. The names of those who served in World War Two were added to the memorial at a later date. On a pillar near the memorial is a foundation stone laid by the Prince of Wales in 1920 when a hall project was favoured. An Australia remembers Plaque is also located at the memorial.

Last week a war memorial was unveiled at Nyngan. The Memorial is of unpolished Bathurst granite, with a polished face bearing over 200 names, and built in column style. Its weight is 23 tons, and the foundations weigh a further 20 tons. A bronze laquered laurel wreath is attached to the column above the names. On one the supporting pillars is set the stone originally laid by the Prince of Wales in 1920, when the hall project was favoured. Western Herald (Bourke, NSW), 6 August 1937.
